Francesca Hong: “I've also introduced a comprehensive paid leave for all bill…”

“So I think there are statutes that could address that where employers would not be allowed to fire an employee without just cause, beyond just what is a federal regulation. But I've also introduced a comprehensive paid leave for all bill and that currently is at 12 to 14 weeks of both paid or a combination of paid and paid family or medical leave. And that includes folks that, you know, it's a social insurance program. So folks in the disability community who are working and need additional time off, it's a program where if the employee opts in, the employer has to opt in as well.” (09:39–09:56)
